Cyber Threat Jujitsu 101: Acknowledge. Assess. Avoid. Address.

It's no secret that cybercriminals and the dynamic methods they use to do their dirty work are evolving faster than companies, governments and individuals are able to deal with them. Dexterity, unmatched domain expertise and the element of surprise creates advantages that grow each day. But what if IT security practitioners could use that power against their enemies, Jujitsu style?

Dr. Eric Cole says this is not only possible, but it’s time to go on the offensive against attackers by using their intelligence, desire for attention, financial motivations and attack tendencies against them to strengthen your own security posture. Dr. Cole, a celebrated author, cyber security consultant for governments and the Fortune 100, and a former CIA security analyst, highlights some of the biggest IT security threats and the critical weaknesses that unleash them on corporations and governments. Cole, president of enterprise and government cyber consultancy Secure Anchor Consulting, discusses:

• Two of the most widely talked about threats in 2010, the ZeuS botnet and the Stuxnet worm.
• How you can fortify your defenses using the principles of Jujitsu to quickly identify your foes and neutralize them.
• How these principles can help you turn the motivations of your foes against them to achieve better security.
• How an integrated security information and event management (SIEM) and file integrity monitoring (FIM) solution can detect threats faster, find an attacker's footprints before a breach and seal off discovered weaknesses in real time through on demand remediation.
